Losing network drives

[stevenh]

A Win98 user has just recently started losing mappings to network drives on an NT server. Re-mapping works only occasionally. Also, Network Neighborhood now only shows his PC. TCP/IP and NetBEUI are installed.

Can anyone help? This PC is virtually useless without network access.

How is the mapping done, by logon script or otherwise?

 

[stevenh]

Mapping done manually.

Problem with connectivity somwhere if only that PC shows up.

What's the error message he receives?
How is it setup to login? A domain?
Have you checked the cables, the hub or switch?
Does the network card have a diagnostic utility?

This is something that can happen when drives are mapped after logon, I have no idea why. It doesn't seem to happen if a login script that has the Net use command in it. Maybe it would be best to map that way?
